title: [Evaluation of the efficiency of rapid tests in identifying malaria patients and parasite carriers in the Republic of Tajikistan].
abstract: The sensitivity of a rapid test versus microscopy ofblood samples was studied while examining 8000 dwellers from the republic's endemic areas. The results of blood testing in the Kumsangir, Dangara, and Vakhdat districts showed agreement with those of blood microscopy. The result of rapid tests did not agree to that of blood microscopy only in one case in the Kabadiyan District. The findings suggest that tests (Care Start b Malaria HPR2/PLDH 2 line test (P.falciparum/P.vivax) COMBO GO161 Access Bio, Inc.) are rather effective and may be further used particularly in remote and Afghanistan-adjacent settlements, as well as among border-guards, in blood transfusion centers and emergency units.
